Fishfriendly Innovative Technologies for Hydropower

Descrizione del progetto

Tecnologie per un’energia idroelettrica sostenibile

Le fonti di energia sostenibile, come le centrali idroelettriche, generano una grande quantità di energia con un impatto ambientale minimo. Sfruttando simili soluzioni ecologiche, è possibile soddisfare efficacemente la domanda di energia senza compromettere la salute dell’ambiente. Tuttavia, è noto che le centrali elettriche possono danneggiare le popolazioni ittiche, le rotte migratorie e gli habitat. Il progetto FIThydro, finanziato dall’UE, si propone di valutare l’impatto delle centrali elettriche sugli ambienti naturali nativi dell’Unione. Attraverso la collaborazione con i responsabili delle politiche, il progetto intende elaborare un metodo per affrontare questi problemi. La soluzione proposta prevede l’utilizzo di vari strumenti e tecnologie, oltre che di un sistema di supporto alle decisioni. Tale approccio consente ai gestori delle centrali idroelettriche di mantenere i ritmi di produzione salvaguardando al contempo le popolazioni ittiche e rispettando gli standard ambientali.

Obiettivo

FIThydro addresses the decision support in commissioning and operating hydropower plants (HPP) by use of existing and innovative technologies. It concentrates on mitigation measures and strategies to develop cost-efficient environmental solutions and on strategies to avoid individual fish damage and enhancing population developments. Therefore HPPS all over Europe are involved as test sites.
The facilities for upstream and downstream migration are evaluated, different bypass systems including their use as habitats and the influence of sediment on habitat.
In addition existing tools and devices will be enhanced during the project and will be used in the experimental set-ups in the laboratories and at the test sites for e.g. detection of fish or prediction of behavior. This includes sensor fish, different solutions for migration as e.g. trash rack variations, different fish tracking systems, but also numerical models as habitat and population model or virtual fish swimming path model.
Therefore a three-level-based workplan was created with preparatory desk work at the beginning to analyze shortcomings and potential in environment-friendly hydropower. Following the experimental tests will be conducted at the different test sites to demonstrate and evaluate the effects of the different options not covered by the desk-work. Thirdly, these results are fed into a risk based Decision Support System (DSS) which is developed for planning, commissioning and operating of HPPs. It is meant to enable operators to fulfill the requirements of cost-effective production and at the same time meet the environmental obligations and targets under European legislation and achieve a self-sustained fish population.
